Enhancement of the efficacy of the parasitoid, Microctonus hyperodae Loan (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) by provision of floral resources to improve biological control of its host, the Argentine stem weevil (Listronotus bonariensis) (Kuschel) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Lincoln University, 2005)
In this study, conservation biological control principles were applied to increase the efficacy of Microctonus hyperodae Loan (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a parasitoid of the Argentine stem weevil (Listronotus bonariensis ...
The effect of floral resources on the leafroller (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) parasitoid Dolichogenidea tasmanica (Cameron)(Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in selected New Zealand vineyards
(Lincoln University, 2002)
In this study, buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and alyssum (Lobularia
maritima (L.)) flowers were used to examine the effect of floral resources on the efficacy
of the leafroller parasitoid Dolichogenidea tasmanica ...
Enhancing the biological control of leafrollers (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) using floral resource subsidies in an organic vineyard in Marlborough, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2005)
In this thesis, experiments were conducted in both the laboratory and the field to determine whether the provision of floral resources to Dolichogenidea tasmanica Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) could enhance the biological ...
'Attract and reward' : combining a floral resource subsidy with a herbivore-induced plant volatile to enhance conservation biological control
(Lincoln University, 2009)
Experiments were conducted to assess whether a concept termed 'attract and reward' (A&R) could enhance conservation biological control (CBC). In A&R, a synthetically-produced herbivore induced plant volatile (HIPV) ('attract') ...
Spider distribution in agroecosystems in Canterbury, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2000)
The spider assemblage from four shelterbelts and their adjacent grazed pastures in South Island, New Zealand was suction sampled from August 1994 to July 1995 and from March 1996 to March 1997. Spider density decreased ...
Use of floral resources by the lacewing Micromus tasmaniae and its parasitoid Anacharis zealandica, and the consequences for biological control by M. tasmaniae
(Lincoln University, 2009)
Arthropod species that have the potential to damage crops are food resources for communities of predators and parasitoids. From an agronomic perspective these species are pests and biocontrol agents respectively, and the ...
